YES on Proposition 8....WHY??? (click here to read more)

Doesn't this just involve California?
No, California is only the beginning...(click here to see)

I make a simple but urgent plea for understanding. What will really happen to society and especially, the family, if Proposition 8 does not pass? There are many places to get the facts. Click on all of my links for more information.

Won't Gay people loose their rights?

In California, the law provides for marriage-related benefits to be given to civil unions and domestic partnerships. Proposition 8 does not diminish these benefits. This is NOT the real issue here.

Failure to pass Proposition 8 will affect children.

If gay marriage remains legal, public schools will put it on equal footing with traditional marriage. Children will likely receive “age appropriate” information about sexual relations within heterosexual and homosexual marriages.

Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt churches.

The court’s decision will inevitably lead to conflicts with religious liberty and free speech rights. Society will become more and more hostile to traditional beliefs about marriage and family.

Having tolerance without condoning.

We can love others while still maintaining and advocating our standards and beliefs.

Proposition 8 will allow us to continue to teach our beliefs and standards.

This is my belief:

"All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." The Family- A Proclamation to the World

Take the challenge to get the word out, especially to your friends in California, Arizona, Florida...

Another way to support this cause, is to join a nation-wide fast with much needed prayers on Sept 12. Check out the information here.

Snow?!?!

So this last week has been extremely cold, so good old Mother Nature decided to blast us with some snow. We went and saw the movie "The City of Ember." It was interesting, and hopefully not something that will come true. Last night we went with some friends to a haunted house. When we got there (driving through the blizzard), a huge line had already formed, so we decided to go to our friend Dan's house to print out some VIP tickets so we didn't have to wait so long. We get to Dan's house, Dan does not have a printer. Get back into the car and we head to our office so we can use a printer. An hour later we get in the VIP line and head in the "Castle of Doom." It was pretty cool, there was a 3d part where you go in a tunnel with black lights that spin, Holy Cow i thought I was going to puke and fall off the bridge. But that was about it, pretty much, not too scary, (Derek did have to save me from some creepy guy while in line )but not bad though. I'm sorry to all of you for Derek's Shameless plug, but it's been runnign Derek's life the last 3 weeks. The other day he told me that his mood is directly related to how well Trade Goose is doing. Like last Sunday, he was extremely Grumpy (Derek does not get Grumpy, and especially not EXTREMELY Grumpy), but nonetheless he was, and come to find out it was because TradeGoose had a bad day. And people think girls are hard to deal with. . .
